** Workshop description **
An ontology is well known to be the best way to represent knowledge in a
domain of interest. It is defined by Gruber as “an explicit specification
of a conceptualization”. It allows us to represent explicitly and formally
existing entities, their relationships and their constraints in an
application domain. This representation is the most suitable and beneficial
way to solve many challenging problems related to the information domain
(e.g., knowledge representation, knowledge sharing, knowledge reusing,
automated reasoning, knowledge capitalizing and ensuring semantic
interoperability among heterogeneous systems). Using ontology has many
advantages, among them we can cite ontology reusing, reasoning and
explanation, commitment and agreement on a domain of discourse, ontology
evolution and mapping, etc. As a field of artificial intelligence (AI),
ontology aims at representing knowledge based on declarative and symbolic
formalization. Combining this symbolic field with computational fields of
IA such as Machine Learning (ML), Deep Learning (DL), Probabilistic
Graphical Models (PGMs), Computer Vision (CV) and Natural Languages
Processing (NLP) is a promising association. Indeed, ontological modeling
plays a vital role to help AI reducing the complexity of the studied domain
and organizing information inside it. It broadens AI’s scope allowing it to
include any data type as it supports unstructured, semi-structured, or
structured data format which enables smoother data integration. The
ontology also assists AI for interpretation process, learning, enrichment,
prediction, semantic disambiguation and discovering of complex inferences.
Finally, the ultimate goal of ontologies is the ability to be integrated in
a software to make sense of all information.
In the last decade, ontologies are increasingly being used to provide
background knowledge for several AI domains in different sectors (e.g.
energy, transport, health, banking and insurance, etc.). Some of these AI
domains are:
- Machine learning and deep learning: semantic data selection, semantic
data pre-processing, semantic data transformation, semantic data
prediction, semantic clustering correction of the outputs, semantic
enrichment with ontological concepts, use the semantic structure for
promoting distance measure, etc.
- Probabilistic Graphical Models: learning PGM (structure or parameters)
using ontologies, probabilistic semantic reasoning, semantic causality and
probability, etc.
- Computer Vision: semantic image processing, semantic image
classification, semantic object recognition/classification, etc.
- Blockchain: semantic transactions, interoperable blockchain systems,
etc.
- Natural Language Processing: semantic text mining, semantic text
classification, semantic role labelling, semantic machine translation,
semantic question answering, ontology based text summarizing, semantic
recommendation systems, etc.
- Robotics: semantic task composition, task assignment, communication,
cooperation and coordination, etc.
- Voice-video-speech: semantic voice recognition, semantic speech
annotation, etc.
- Game Theory: semantic definition of specific games, semantic rules and
goals definition, etc.
- etc.
** Objective **
This workshop aims at highlighting recent and future advances on the role
of ontologies and knowledge graphs in different domains of AI and how it
can be used in order to reduce the semantic gap between the data,
applications, machine learning process, etc., in order to obtain a
semantic-aware approaches. In addition, the goal of this workshop is to
bring together an area for experts from industry, science and academia to
exchange ideas and discuss results of on-going research in ontologies and
AI approaches.
We invite the submission of original works that are related -- but are not
limited to -- the topics below.
** Topics of interests **
- Ontology for Machine Learning/Deep Learning
- Ontology for Probabilistic Graphical Models
- Ontology for Federated Machine Learning
- Ontology for Smart Contracts
- Ontology for Computer Vision
- Ontology for Natural Language Processing
- Ontology for Robotics and Multi-agent Systems
- Ontology for Voice-video-speech
- Ontology for Game Theory
- and so on.
